Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tampa to Atlanta. While takeoff offers coastal scenery, the landing approach into Atlanta provides more dramatic and varied views—the Chattahoochee River valley, suburban sprawl, and downtown skyline create a more visually interesting descent than the relatively flat Gulf Coast departure.

During takeoff from Macdill Afb (MCF), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers views of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico coastline immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs northeastward, so right-side seats capture the sparkling water, barrier islands, and coastal development as you gain altitude. Notable sights include: Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, Gulf of Mexico coastline, Clearwater and St. Petersburg barrier islands.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides excellent views during approach into Hartsfield-Jackson. The aircraft descends from the northwest, and left-side seats capture the Atlanta metropolitan area, including downtown Atlanta's skyline, the Chattahoochee River valley, and the surrounding piedmont terrain. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Chattahoochee River, Peachtree Creek valley, piedmont hills and forested areas.

The flight from Macdill Afb (MCF) to The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) takes 1h 15m.

Florida's interior pine forests and lakes, the transition from coastal lowlands to the Georgia piedmont, the Ocmulgee River valley in central Georgia, and gradual elevation gain toward the Atlanta metropolitan area
